Insurance giant wins top governance award and Megan Pavich is named rising star
The Allstate Corporation was honored as governance team of the year (large cap), and senior attorney Megan Pavich won the ‘rising star’ award at Corporate Secretary’s fifth annual Corporate Governance Awards held in New York on January 8. The insurance company also received a nomination for best proxy statement.
Pavich and Allstate corporate counsel Katherine Smith happily accepted the awards, which they said were due to a tremendous effort by the entire legal team.
In this video interview at the awards ceremony, Pavich and Smith discuss how they overhauled Allstate’s proxy statement and staged a listening tour to engage with shareholders.
